HOUSEGARD –HOUSEGARD –HOUSEGARD –HOUSEGARD –HOUSEGARD – FR PVC Insulated Electrical Wires

THE FINOLEX GROUPThe Finolex Group is one of India's leading industrial groups and has interests spanning over several areas such as power, telecommunications,petrochemicals, agriculture and education. Finolex Cables Limited, an IS/ISO 9001 company, is the flagship company of Finolex Group. The companymanufactures a wide range of cables required for construction, automotive, agricultural, communications, industrial and power sectors at its plants inPimpri (Pune) Urse (Near Pune), Verna (Goa), and Roorkee (Uttrakhand).

To add to the existing range of electrical wires, Finolex introduces ‘Housegard’ - FR PVCinsulated electrical wires, which offer added safety.

Each wire is manufactured using 99.97% pure, electrolytic grade, bright annealed barecopper with more than 100% conductivity for conductor. This copper is manufactured atthe company’s state-of-the-art plant in Goa. Highest purity and conductivity of copperensures greater saving of electrical energy and thus helps to reduce electricity bills. Theconductor is made of multiple strands of finely drawn copper wires thereby offeringgreater flexibility which makes these wires ideal for conduit wiring.

The wires are insulated with FR (Flame Retardent) PVC compound, specially formulatedand manufactured in-house. A special grade PVC resin manufactured by the group company, Finolex Industries Limited, is used to manufacture thiscompound. This PVC compound has FR properties of high oxygen and temperature index. These properties help in restricting the spread of fire evenat very high temperatures. This special compound also offers high insulation resistance and dielectric strength. Insulation is applied over the conductorby the process of dual extrusion using state-of-the-art extrusion lines. The outer skin determines the colour identification while the inner layer is pureinsulation which provides extra protection. All wires are subjected to high voltage spark testing to make sure that there are no weak spots in the insulation.

These ISI marked wires meet the requirements of IS 694 : 1990 with latest amendments with improved fire performance for category C-1. This meansextra protection against electrical shocks, short circuits and fires. The wires also have FIA/TAC (Fire Insurance/Tariff Advisory Committee) approval.

Buy only from authorised Finolex outlets to be assured of total quality. If doubt arises about the authenticity of the purchase, please write to the companyat the address given below. Send a copy of the cash memo, coil number and a metre-length sample of the cable to enable genuineness tests to becarried out in the laboratory.

These wires are manufactured in our state-of-the-art manufacturing plants at Pimpri (Pune), Urse (Near Pune), Verna (Goa) & Roorkee(Uttarakhand).

The brand Housegard, company name and logo, size of wire, voltage grade FR Type, ISI mark, licence no. are printed at regularintervals on the wire to help in easy identification as shown below.
